He's played for inter Milan, Real madrid and chelsea(before their capitulation) he's never been simply a "top 6 player"He’s the only one in midfield who has anything about him. The problem is, he is a top 6 player. If your best midfielder is a top 6 player, you have a problem. The garbage we are serving up is not his fault at all.

He's top quality. Has repeatedly shown it all season, largely single handedly holding the entire midfield together.
If Pep isn't even going to bother playing Nico G, Kova might as well stay another season.I can’t decide whether he should get another year with us, he’s been very good at driving forward but I’m not sure on another season.

Cash in whilst his stock is high in my opinion.
Bring in 2 new younger midfielders, MGW and a new #10.
Rodri, MGW, #10
Nico G, Gundo, Foden, Bernardo.
Should be enough depth.

Kova's certainly earned his starts recently, no doubt about that.Well it seems pretty evident which of the two he prefers and from what I’ve seen I can’t fault him neither on that score
We're all allowed opinions of course but I think that's a pretty awful one.He's poor imo, looks brilliant compared to the current crop which is worrying as fuck.
Not winning the league or champions league with Kovacic in the starting XI.
I go back to the 2022/23 starting midfield, that's the level we need to get to. He's not a patch on Rodri, Gundogan or De Bruyne that season.

Despite it being his first season and getting the customary slow introduction he still featured 30 times for us last season, we won the league then, we were knocked out of the CL on pens and had we progressed would have been strong favourites to retain it and we all remember the fa cup final shitshow, we really wasn't far off the treble standard last season with him.involved.
This season he's stepped up, held things together single handedly and we wouldn't be even close to top 4/5 without him. With rodri back or possibly Nico settling in to play the 6 and kovacic back in his natural 8 role, I expect another very good season from him next year. He's miles away from being a concern imo.
All top clubs but he’s been the same at them all…good not great. I like him but he doesn’t get in our best side and yet all of a sudden he is our best midfielder. He isn’t the problem but that scenario is.He's played for inter Milan, Real madrid and chelsea(before their capitulation) he's never been simply a "top 6 player"

He wasn't dropped you moron, he wasn't fit.Got an argument to say he's in the running for our player of the year
Gets dropped for the final for a shot KDB who not a Holding mid
Ladies and gentlemen...Pep Guardiola
Deserved better
Seemed like it but could’ve been illness. The comments pre match weren’t very specific, just that he “didnt feel right”Was he injured ?
